I'm Working It...ActiveRain Real Estate Vendors....Solicit Me.... - 09:43 PM
 
This is one time I will not mind being solicited! 
 The Daytona Beach Assocation of Realtors will be hosting a Technology Fair for 4 of our Local Boards.  We have booths available and guess what, IT'S FREE!  Not only is it free for Vendors but all of the Realtors in our 4 local Boards.

The Event is June 1st at the Plaza Resort in … (16 comments)

Performance - 08:20 AM
We (James and Ben) did the first release of some performance enhancements we've been working on this morning.  There's still lots more to do but we think we improved the highest traffic, slowest load time pages on the site.  Here's a before/after of load times in miliseconds for the <a href="http://activerain.com/bloghome">Blogs</a> page as an example.

One other minor change - you can now edit descriptions for photos you uploaded on Localism.

Be Careful When Adding a Listing To Zillow - 03:39 PM
Disclaimer:  I have read through some of the many Zillow posts to make sure I wasn't writing up something too duplicate.  I gave up after reading several and decided to tell my recent experience.
On a forum I'm involved with we were shown how you could put your profile on Zillow.  Several of us went over there and entered our profile to see if the page (with our website links) would get indexed (so far it seems to get indexed quickly).  While I was over there I figured I'd enter a listing for a Palos Heights townhouse I'm working hard trying to promote … (59 comments)

Formatting issues will persist in your blog if you continue to copy and paste from Microsoft Word.Everyday we come across 'broken blogs'.  The reason the blog 'broke' is always the same: Microsoft Word was used to compose an article and now the formatting is jacked up, and in some cases the formatting throughout the rest of the blogsite is also affected.The most common issues are challenges with font styles, sizes, bolding, italics and underlining.  Other challenges include indenting, bulleting and numbering and total sidebar destruction.Here's why there is a problem:

Making A Stand For Typepad - 07:41 AM
The Project Blogger competition got me thinking.  Many of  the coaches are setting their apprentices up with WordPress blogs.  What's up with that?
As a long time (one year - that's a eon in internet time) Typepad user, I thought someone should make a stand for Typepad.
Typepad is easy to set-up - hosting is included, it's highly customizable (at some point I'll even walk everyone through converting to Advanced Templates) - parking a custom domain name is painless.  You don't need SQL or PHP.  Heck, you don't even need FTP.   And it still looks a lot more professional than Blogger.  :-)
To encourage Typepad … (26 comments)

Who Are Those Stars in Outer Space? - 09:40 PM
Techie Supernovae explode in Real Estate Market          
  
That's the title of the article in Real Estate Reality magazine, the one with Allen Hainge happily floating in space, star shine glinting off his helmet. The point is that Allen, along with CyberStars®  Ken DeShaies, Ira Serkes, and Wynne Achatz, are leaders in using the power of Web 2.0 to reach clients and give better service. As Ira says in the article, "Technology lets me do more with less. It saves me time and money." 
What I do best is list and sell houses. Any technology or service that helps save time and … (31 comments)

Fickle Fantasy Forever Forgotten - 05:21 PM
This morning, I woke up about 7am to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and the sizzle of thick slab bacon slowly cooking as TLW prepared me a gourmet breakfast to enjoy as I recline in my Tempurpedic Craftmatic Adjustable Vibrating Bed. As usual I log on to ActiveRain while simultaneously activating my Bluetooth ear appendage and preparing to deal with today's business.
My first call came in at around 8:30, from one of my Sellers, asking me to reduce their listing price as they now felt the need to "give their house away". Obligingly, I agree.
At 9:00, I had a REALTOR® … (73 comments)
